Add more music to your home theater

When you add a network connection to your home theater receiver, you open up a whole world of music choices. Making that connection is a snap with the Yamaha RX-V577. Its built-in Wi-Fi capability makes it easy to get access to more music without a wired connection to your router. Listen to your old favorites, discover new ones, and hear it all through your stereo or surround sound speakers. With 7.2-channel output and advanced Dolby® and DTS® processing, the 'V577 also offers high-fidelity surround sound to movie nights and everyday TV watching.

Wireless music doesn't get any easier than this

By adding Wi-Fi to the RX-V577, Yamaha has made it easier than ever to enjoy wireless music from computers, smartphones, and tablets. If you have an iPhone®, iPad®, iPod touch®, or a computer running iTunes®, you can stream music wirelessly to the receiver with AirPlay for playback on your home theater speakers. The receiver itself has built-in support for Pandora Internet radio, Spotify (subscription required), and free Internet radio streams from stations around the world. Download Yamaha's free AV Controller app to your Apple or Android device for easy navigation of your receiver's features and use your smartphone or tablet as a Wi-Fi® remote.Plus, the app allows you to control the receiver and stream music from your smartphone without a network connection using the V577's Wireless Direct technology.

More digital music options for MP3s and high-res audio files

If you have an iPod or iPhone, plug it into the RX-V577's front-panel USB input. This creates a direct digital connection, bypassing your device's digital circuitry in favor of the receiver's superior digital-to-analog converters. This lets you enjoy your digital music files with rich, detailed sound. You can also use the USB input with thumb drives loaded up with your favorite tunes. You can even play high-resolution FLAC and Apple Lossless files, so you can enjoy the enhanced detail and dynamics of these formats.

"Extra Bass" ensures you get more low-frequency output, even when using smaller bookshelf speakers for your front channels. Having a hard time finding a place for those rear surround speakers? Virtual Cinema Front can simulate surround sound even when all your speakers are placed in the front of the room.

Receivers: Your ticket to sensational sound

Your receiver powers your speakers and lets you connect and select your entertainment sources. But a great receiver does a lot more  it ignites your emotions. From the passion of a favorite musical artist, to the crossfire of a super-charged movie soundtrack, to the intensity and immersion of a fast-paced video game, your receiver is the key to experiencing and enjoying it in full.

Product Research

Audio Features

Yamaha's Total Purity Concept: The Yamaha RX-V577 AV
Receiver incorporates Yamaha's Total Purity Concept for the finest sound
quality. The Total Purity Concept, which Yamaha has been cultivating for many
years, encompasses high drive amp technology, high purity pre-amplification,
anti-vibration technology, and independent pure power supplies. As a result,
this AV receiver can provide high-quality sound for your movie & music
soundtracks.

High Drive Amp Technology: A fully discrete power
amplifier helps maximize sound and minimize distortion of the receiver. The
Yamaha RX-V577 AV Receiver is equipped with a 7-channel amplifier rated at
80 watts (into 8-ohms, at 20-20kHz, with 0.09% THD, driving 2 channels)
which provides high dynamic power with low-impedance drive capability.

High Purity Pre-Amplification: The Yamaha RX-V577 uses
high quality, audio-grade Burr-Brown 192kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog
converters for all channels to maximize sound quality. The AV receiver also
utilizes low-jitter PLL circuitry to help optimize sound imaging. The result
is a more dynamic sound with greater detail and less distortion.

5.2ch w/ Front Bi-Amp: Five speakers are powered in the
main room (Front L/R, center, and Surround L/R) with the surround back
amplifier channels reassigned to bi-amp the front speakers. A
bi-amplification connection uses two amplifiers for one speaker. One
amplifier is connected to the woofer section of a loudspeaker while the
other is connected to the combined midrange and tweeter section. With this
arrangement each amplifier operates over a limited frequency range, making
its job easier.

5.2ch + Zone B (hybrid): Five speakers are powered in
the main room (Front L/R, Center, and Surround L/R), while two speakers in a
second room are connected to the receiver's surround back terminals. The
Zone B speaker output allows the receiver to send 2-channel sound to a
second room, limiting the main listening room to 5.2-channel output. This
means that you can enjoy stereo sound in a second room of your home. The
same input source is sent to both rooms (you cannot play different sources).
You can choose for Zone A/Zone B to share the same volume setting or have
independent volume control. Multichannel sources are mixed down to
2-channels and output to the second listening area. This is not a true dual
zone receiver.

YPAO Technology: This unit employs the YPAO (Yamaha
Parametric Acoustic Optimizer), which automatically adjusts the output of the
speakers based on placement, performance, and the room's acoustic
characteristics. Yamaha's YPAO system uses a small microphone and sophisticated
equalization to automatically set the best sound for any room, no matter where
the speakers are. First it checks the speaker connections and phase of each
speaker. Then it sends out tones which are captured by the microphone to analyze
the room acoustics and sets a variety of parameters; such as the speaker size,
the distance of the speakers, and even the volume level; until it achieves the
best sound conditions for your room. Using the supplied Optimizer Microphone, YPAO performs the
following checks and makes appropriate adjustments to give you the best possible
sound from your system:

Speaker Wiring: Checks which speakers are connected and
the polarity of each.

Speaker Size: Checks the frequency response of each
speaker and sets the appropriate crossover frequency for each channel.

Speaker Distance: Checks the distance of each speaker
from the listening position and adjusts the delay of each channel.

EQ: Each channel has a parametric equalizer; choose one
of three target settings before running the setup.

Natural: adjusts all speaker to a natural sound;
useful when the flat setting sounds too bright

Flat: use when all the speakers in the system have
similar sound characteristics

Front: EQs the center and rear speakers to sound
like the front; useful when your front speakers are better than the
others in the system

Volume Level: Checks and adjusts the volume level of
each speaker.

Note: You can also choose to manually adjust the AV
receiver's speaker, crossover, & EQ settings.

Note: Dolby Digital and DTS listening modes can only be
selected if your audio source is connected to the A/V receiver via a digital
audio connection (HDMI, optical, or coaxial). To enjoy true 7.1ch Dolby
Digital TrueHD and DTS-HD surround sound, the receiver must be connected to
your Blu-ray player via HDMI.

Dolby Pro Logic II Settings: You can adjust the
following parameters in Pro Logic II Music modes:
Panorama (sends stereo signals to
the surround speakers as well as the front speakers for a wraparound
effect), Dimension (adjusts the
soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear of the room), and
Center Width (moves the center
channel output completely towards the center speaker or towards the front
left and right speakers).

Center Image (DTS NEO: 6 Music): This parameter adjusts
the front left and right channel output relative to the center channel to
make the center channel more or less dominant as necessary.

Cinema DSP Soundfields: Conventional multichannel audio
reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, using
matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha Cinema
DSP is much more advanced, actually creating richly realized independent
soundfields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With
dialogue, music and effects ideally located in these separate soundfields, you
will hear sound with accurate placement, smooth movement, exceptional clarity
and richness, and realistic presence. It will seem as if the walls of your room
have disappeared and you are in the middle of your own immense theater. The AV
receiver offers 17 Cinema DSP programs for movies, music, and games.

Note: You can change the receiver's Cinema DSP effect level
(level of the soundfield effect to be added); you can adjust the level of
the soundfield effect from -6 dB to +3 dB from the receiver or remote
control. The AV Controller App for Apple iOS and Android provides even
greater adjustment of Cinema DSP soundfields.

Cinema DSP Modes: The Yamaha RX-V577 AV receiver offers
proprietary Yamaha Cinema modes so you can enjoy your movies and music even more
in your home; regardless if you are using 5.1 speaker setup, only have a
two-channel speaker system, or listening through headphones.

Cinema DSP 3D: The actually measured soundfield data in
recorded soundtracks contain the information of the height of the sound
images. CINEMA DSP 3D mode achieves the reproduction of the accurate height
of theses sound images so that it can create the accurate and intensive
stereoscopic soundfield in your listening room. The receiver achieves Cinema DSP 3D through its virtual Presence Speaker mode.

Virtual Cinema DSP: Virtual Cinema DSP is an algorithm
that allows you to enjoy DSP soundfield surround effects while using a
minimal two-speaker system. Virtual Cinema DSP lets you enjoy the effects of
Cinema DSP surround sound without using surround speakers (handy for use in
custom installations where some rooms don't have surround speakers). It can
be used with the front/center speakers or even with just the two
front left and right speakers. This unit will switch to virtual Cinema DSP
mode automatically when surround speakers are unavailable.

Virtual Cinema Front: With Virtual Cinema Front, you
will enjoy virtual 5-channel surround sound with higher quality and
resolution by installing surround speakers at the front. You get more
flexibility to arrange your speakers inside the room, along with easy
enjoyment of high quality surround sound.

Silent Cinema: Silent Cinema makes it possible to hear
large-scale surround sound through ordinary headphones. This is a variation
of Cinema DSP technology that Yamaha developed to let you listen in private
to movies and other multi-channel sources for hours without listening
fatigue.

HiFi Sound Modes: The Yamaha RX-V577 offers two HiFi audio
modes which bypass the receiver's tone & DSP processing for higher sound quality
performance. These HiFi sound modes lets you play back input sources without any
soundfield effect processing. When either of theses modes are enabled, each
speaker produces its own channel audio signal (without soundfield processing).
When playing back 2-channle sources, such as a CD player, stereo sound is heard
from the front speakers. When playing back multichannel sources, the receiver
produces unprocessed multichannel surround sound.

Straight: 2-channel stereo sources are output from only
the front left and right speakers, while multi-channel sources are decoded
straight into the appropriate channels without any additional tone or DSP
processing.

Direct: Turns off the surround and tone circuitry, and
dims the front-panel display, allowing sources to bypass the decoders and
DSP processors of this unit so you can enjoy pure hi-fi sound from 2-channel
or multi-channel sources. During Direct playback no sound is output from the
subwoofer.

Compressed Music Enhancer: Yamaha employs sophisticated
digital signal processing with exclusive algorithms to enable playback that
improves the performance of compressed music formats, including MP3, WMA, and
AAC. With the Compressed Music Enhancer, highs and especially lows are richer
and smoother, bringing music back to life to be as close to the original as
possible.

Adaptive DRC: Adaptive DRC automatically adjusts the
dynamic range of the sound according to the volume level. This ensures that
you hear clear dialog, vocals, and all sound effects at comfortable levels.
There is no need to adjust the volume level as you listen; everything from
whispers to big explosions will be heard clearly and comfortably at the same
volume setting. It also tones down loud TV commercials and is ideal for
low-volume, late-night listening when you do not want to disturb others.

Dynamic Range: The amount of dynamic range compression applied
to bitstream signals is adjustable; Min/Auto is suitable for low volume listening,
Standard is typical for home use, and Max doesn't compress the dynamic range at all.

Bass & Treble: You can adjust the balance of the
high-frequency range (Treble) and low-frequency range (Bass) of sounds
output from the receiver' front left and right speakers to obtain a desired
tone. You can independently adjust the bass (50Hz) and treble (20kHz) from
-6dB to +6dB in 0.5 dB increments. The tone control of the speakers or
headphones can be set separately.

Extra Bass: You can select whether to play front
channel low-frequencies through either of the front speaker or the
subwoofer, or through both the subwoofer and front speakers.

Subwoofer Trim: The Subwoofer Trim control enhances the
low frequencies by avoiding overlap with the front speaker output. This will
result in a cleaner, more focused sound stage while providing a seamless
frequency response. When subwoofer frequency overlap occurs in conventional
systems, the overall sound is "pushed" toward the subwoofer. Subwoofer Trim
takes care of this by separating the low subwoofer frequencies cleanly, thus
stabilizing the front stage while providing a well-balanced enhanced bass
sound.

Volume Setup: The Yamaha RX-V577 allows you to customize the
receiver's volume levels.

Max Volume Adjustment: Use this feature to set the
receiver's maximum volume level. This feature is useful to avoid turning the
volume too loud by mistake. You can set the Max Volume from -30 dB to +15 dB
in 5 dB steps, or to +16.5 dB (full volume range is -80 dB to +16.5 dB).

Initial Volume Setting: Use this feature to set the
volume level when the power is turned on. You can choose between Off (same
as the volume when the unit was turned off), Mute, and -80 dB to + 16.5 dB
in increments of 0.5 dB.

Volume Trim: Use this feature to adjust the volume level of
each input. This is useful to balance the level of each input to avoid sudden
changes in volume when switching between input sources. The range is from -6dB
to +6dB in 0.5dB increments.

Note: You can choose to display the "Relative" volume scale
(-80 to +16dB) or an "Absolute" volume scale (0 to 97).

Stereo RCA Jacks: The receiver is also equipped with
three stereo RCA analog audio inputs and a stereo RCA analog audio record
output.

Speaker Terminals: The receiver has binding post
terminals for all the speaker outputs. The binding posts can accept bare
wire, pin connectors, and single banana plugs. The terminals are spaced too
far apart for dual banana plugs and a collar surrounding them prevents the
use of spade connectors. You can select 8 ohms or 6 ohms in the menu
depending on your speaker application. The amplifier supports 6- to 8-ohm
for all speakers connections.

Dual Sub Outputs: The RX-V577 includes dual LFE (mono-subwoofer)
outputs for connecting up to two powered subs (simultaneous outputs; not
discrete).

Headphone Jack: The Yamaha RX-V577 is equipped with a front-panel 1/4"
headphone jack for connecting a set of headphone, so you can listen to your
music privately. Connecting a set of headphones automatically mutes the
receiver's speaker outputs. Sound effects applied during playback can also
be heard through the headphones.

ARC (Audio Return Channel): This feature allows audio to be
sent from your compatible HDTV to your receiver through the same HDMI cable
already being used to send audio and video to your HDTV. This eliminates the
need for extra cables connected to your television.

Deep/x.v.Color Support: The AV receiver supports Deep
Color and x.v.Color content, which can display a larger color range than
standard-definition schemes. The result is a more lifelike, vibrant picture

LipSync: This function
adjusts the delay between audio and video output. You can do this manually or
have the receiver set the LipSync function automatically. When connected
to a TV via HDMI the receiver automatically adjusts audio output timing (0-500ms) if the
TV supports an automatic LipSync function. You can also manually delay the
sound output up to 500ms to synchronize it with the video image.

Note: The AV receiver's HDMI jacks do not support the
latest HDCP 2.2 copyright protection for 4K ultra-HD content, so it will not
support 4K content from satellite/cable providers, online video services,
and Blu-ray disc which are copyright protected with HDCP 2.2.

HDMI Standby Through Mode: When the RX-V577 is in standby
mode (power off), the Standby Through feature allows HDMI source signals to pass
through the receiver to the TV. The HDMI input can be changed using the remote
control. So, there's not need to turn on the A/V receiver in order to switch
HDMI sources.

Component Video: The RX-V577 offers two component video inputs
and one component video monitor output. These jacks have a frequency
response of 5 Hz to 60 MHz and will pass High Definition video sources up to

Yamaha RX-V577

Recently received my Yamaha RX-V577 and trust me it does not bite the setup was easy with help of the crutchfield tech team. Love the idea that I can stream music via air play and from my network wireless hard drive.

Pros:The menu options are self exploratory and easy to navigate. With the help of the Yamaha AV controller app it makes using this receiver super easy.

Cons:The receiver comes without dated firmware version which makes it not visible on Tv screen once hooked up, don't be alarm just use your routers wifi WPS connection MODE to add the receiver and update firmware and once restarted it will be visible on TV screen. Enjoy????

Must have gotten a lemon!

Written By WDavis, So. Colorado on Friday, January 09, 2015

I guess I got a lemon. It worked great for about 90 days then network problems began. It shows I'm connected but then says I must connect to my network. I jump through the hoops and reconnect, including the router password it requires every time, and it will work for a couple of hours. When I turn it on the next day it may or may not connect - sometimes it does usually it doesn't. Also, out of nowhere it will switch from the system sound/speakers to just my TV speakers. I have a strong signal for my network and all my other devices continue to work so I know it isn't a problem with my network. Erratic problems are really hard to find and fix. I spoke with Crutchfield tech (very nice, and patient) we re-set the system and tweaked settings, it worked fine until the next day then same problems were back. I've had this unit for about 4 months and am frustrated! Again,maybe I just got a lemon, it happens...

Cons:Internal network adapter is faulty or very finicky - either that or the ROM won't retain settings. Either way a big Con is - do you want to gamble $$$ on a system that requires a lot of work every day just to listen to what you want, no just turn it on and listen (at least for my unit).

Great for video

I replaced an older Yamaha AV receiver with the RX V-577. I found it easy to set up and remote navigation is simple. Unlike many others, I like the iOS app that's available for this unit. Granted, it's missing a few key functions, but what it does it does very well.

I like the sound for video. It's crisp and loud with little to no distortion at high volume. I'm using the bi-amp setting for my front speakers along with dual sub woofers. The combination definitely adds some life to the sound.

I find musical reproduction to be underwhelming. It seems a bit removed an artificial. The musical reproduction is the reason for four stars. If you're plans are to use the unit solely for watching movies, crank it up and consider the 4 star to be 5.

Great product - for my simple needs

My needs were simple - I have a DVD / Blue Ray Player, a DVR (from my cable TV provider), an Apple TV, and video game - each with an HDMI cable. Each device is plugged into this unit and using the different input selections, each is able to fully utilize my existing surround speaker system - 2 front, 2 back, 1 center, and 1 sub. Easy to hook up and I was enjoying my new purchase in less than 10 minutes. Many of the features weren't all that important to me as I also run a SONOS system through this device. The Zone 1 and 2 features are nice, but I didn't need them.

Despite the cons listed below, this is a great system and I would recommend to anyone.

Pros:Buttons easy to use - my 9 year old taught me how to use it.

Cons:Not crazy about the on-screen interface or the iOS app - which would have made me give a full 5 stars. I don't particularly find either interface all that intuitive. I can get around OK, but it could be so much better. The good news is that once configured, you really don't need to access again.
Also, I really don't care for the way the speaker wire attaches to the inputs on the back of the unit. I've had other manufacturers with simpler connections.

Review of Yamaha RX-V577 Receiver

I am pleased with my purchase of the Yamaha RX-V577. I am only using the front, center and subwoofer speakers until I can purchase more speakers. The sound is great with only these few spealers. I still have several connections to make but I will get those completed at a later time.

Yamaha RX V577

So far so good, replaced an old Onkyo that was 15 years old no hdmi inputs and pretty much analog switching. This unit plugged right in, set up WAS EASY - just confirmed my Dish TV box was set to Dolby, set TV for HDMI sound, plugged in receiver, speakers (JBL minis) that are 15 years old with powered sub-woofer powered it up and wa la GREAT surround sound throughout my little and I mean Little home. Ran the Yamaha sound set up - since my home is so small I had to adjust speakers manually, but no big deal - as the set up pops up over the top of your TV screen/picture for EASY adjustment. Had an issue with the "scenes" NOT good doc on how to change them, but Crutchfield to the service and all was resolved in 5 minutes.

Cons:Scene set up is NOT well documents at all. Docs come on CD - had to print them out so I can sit in front of TV and work with the receiver.

Solid performance and simple set up

The Yamaha RX-V577 is a very solid "central command" unit providing clear and solid output through my Bose Acoustimass 5.1 system. The set up is quite easy and the iPhone app works well. I have as the central support for a DirectTV box, Apple TV, and BlueRay player - switching between them is a snap. Unlike another Denon unit I bought and returned, the pass thru with the Yahama works flawlessly with the unit on or off (the other did not work with the unit off). What's convenient is when the unit is on it swaps the sound to the Bose system and away from the TV and vice versa when the unit is off - I have to do nothing other than manage volume. Wifi performance is very good - no issues at all and overall its a very user friendly unit as everyone in the family can use it without training.

Yamaha RX-V577

Purchase the RX-577 desiring that it would drive some very old Sansui speakers. The RX-577 is able to power and these speakers with an awesome sound. The dsp mode available on the downloadable ap are awesome and hope Yamaha continues to develop other dsp modes. Overall very happy with this av receiver the sound that comes out of it is awesome and I would recommend this to others to consider for a home AV system.

Above average unit

Solid receiver, good sound, decent power. Much better on screen graphics than the Sony (that replaced my 10 year old Onkyo) it replaced. I have not used the wireless since my TV, Sat box and Blu-ray all have wireless. Not sure whether I will keep this or try a different brand; Onkyo or NAD. It is a good unit, just has not wowed me with the new technology. My 25 year old NAD 25 WPC receiver has cleaner sound and more apparent power with the exact same speakers.

Pros:Good sounds, lots of adjustments once you figure out how. Lots of flexibility in design.

Cons:The manual is not the easiest to figure out all the gadgets and adjustments.

Just what I was looking for

Replaced a pioneer elite receiver . Less power but no real problem with that regard. Calibrated myself with a iPhone app, spl meter . Easily done with better results than the onboard calibration. Getting the arc to work with tv was a little tricky but that's what google is for. Very happy with the results . Highly recommend the product. Cruchfield as always a joy to deal with.

Pros:Love the iPhone app that makes it a lot easier to choose the various sound field modes . All components except tv are in separate room . Pretty seamless. Does every thing the remote does without the tiny remote buttons to deal with and can adjust the sound stage.

happy buyer

I haven't had a receiver for many years since I had my last one, than I bought this Yamaha. I just love the one button option for switching from the tuner,TV,BD-DVD... If you have smarter TV you can control the volume from TV's remote, you can control the BD-DVD player from the receiver's remote, too.I haven't tried other receivers, but I'm very happy with the sound from this one.I'm using it with Polk TSX 5.1 set up with the bi-amp option and I'm quite happy.You can tell it was made smart, to serve you with ease and leave you happy.

Outstanding A/V receiver

I have owned Sony, Denon and Onkyo and This is my first Yamaha receiver, I could not be any happier with the performance and easy set up. The Yamaha's YPAO speaker set up microphone is fast and accurate. Very happy with plenty of HDMI connections for all my gear. What is really cool about this unit is the Yamaha smartphone and IPad app that you can control the unit from those devices. I have no problems going to all the different sound fields, a lot easier than my previous receivers. My sales rep Eddie was a great help in my purchase, plus Crutchfield had it at my door the next day, as always Crutchfield is the best at what they do !! You can't go wrong with the Yamaha RX-V577 !!
